I have family from the West Mayo/Galway, Cork and Donegal. I love these stories. I believe when the world was quiet we could listen and hear. We can't hear ourselves think these days.

The loss of our Irish-ness has already broken my heart. There's near nothing left of us, altogether :'(

My dad was from Dun Leoghaire and he would tell me all the wondrous tales when I was a child. A lot of my songs have been influenced by what he told me. When I was living in Cornwall and he was looking after his brother my uncle Kevin in Birmingham I had a strong dream/vision of a lady mewling like a cat crying and the next day he phoned saying uncle Kevin was gone.

My friend in Cavan heard the banshea when he was a teenager and he hid under the covers til morning. The back door where he heard her was open and his aunt came to him saying his uncle in England had died that night

My mother has heard her twice on both occasions her granddad and neighbour died that same night. She has also seen the woman in white with long silver hair. My grandfather lived in an isolated cottage up in the mountains in the West of Ireland. He had so many stories of ghostly encounters and the supernatural world, I wish I had written them down before he died.

My Mother grew up in rural Ireland and believe me she is not one to be interested in the supernatural or anything like that and she said she heard the Ban si when she was a teen and u believe her because she never speaks of things like that. She said it was the most chilling, inhuman, screeching, howl she has ever hard. Absolutely terrifying that she said she'l never forget it. she heard pass her window and continue on and the next day in Mass a neighbor dropped dead! love being irish!!!

Banshees are specifically tied to certain clans, like the O'Connor's and the O'Brian's .. Usually it means someone you know has or will die.. I've heard it before, it's really eerie!

In 1995 I bought a house in Coolock I was 19 at the time also my daughter Keri was born,I use to drink and watch concerts on VHS,I use to have a piss out the back,that nite I heard a horrible cry wailing for a good while my daughter died the next nite from a S.I.D.S,the sound was bloodcurdling

Great documentary, I remember it was originally broadcast on rte around Halloween/All Souls night years ago!

I believe I heard the Banshee when I was about 10. Silent night, no wind, windows open and then it came out of nowhere..low moan to a high pitched wail in 10 seconds...then was gone. My ancestry is from Ireland..I'll never forget that sound and it was certainly no animal!

I love being irish :)

Great yoddling at the end. Comforting sound.

Banshees or Beansidhe. Back in 1987 or 1988 I was walking down the road at night with two Mikes....Mike Hamlin and Mike Reed. We hadn't gone too far down the road when up at the top of the trees we heard this blood curdling cry. It warbled in a owl-like way for a few seconds and then morphed into a female voice screaming "MIKE!" I stood there in amazement, but when I turned around both Mikes were gone! I was buzzing with excitement but realized I was alone in the dark on the side of Doyal rd....so I finally ran back to the house. When I got there both mikes were pacing around the front yard saying "What the fuck was that?" We all agreed it had to be a Banshee. But they say if a Banshee calls your name you will die soon. Well I'm happy to report both Mikes are still alive and well today. So what did it mean? One Mike was threatened by a fellow student who got him alone and said something creepy like "I have a gun under my seat." and "Would anyone miss you if you just never came home?" Which is creepy...but he didn't do anything. So I'm not sure if Mike was in danger or not? But maybe it was a warning? The other Mike would jump on the hood of a friends moving car (she didn't know) and when she put on the breaks he went surfing face first in the gravel. He came pretty close to death that night...but still lived. So maybe the Banshee doesn't always warn of certain death? After these incidents I had gone alone in my grandma's forest at night and cast a magick circle. After I got the circle of protection up I sat and stared into the candle light. Right as I began to break the circle at the end of the ritual....a singing/ crying female voice started singing in a language that I didn't understand. I was so terrified by the sound that I could barely move. And I noticed that my faithful dog (who always stayed close) had refused to follow me into the woods this time. After this singing/ crying had stopped I quickly picked up my ritual items and headed out of the woods. There at the corner of the woods was my dog "Bear" sitting patiently for me to leave the woods. I felt so much better to see him and get close to him. But as I approached he began to cry and back away from me. I noticed he was looking above my head. I looked up and seen nothing. Could the dog see something I couldn't? Needless to say I ran home at this point. It wasn't long after this incident my uncle Tivis died in Tennessee.

really interesting documentary. also... SESH

My friend, an O’Donoghue swore she heard the Ban Si the night her uncle died.

Me being of Irish descent , I know about this.🇺🇸🇨🇮 🇨🇮🇺🇸

Please Mary can we have more of these amazing videos please ☘💯♥️

Very nice!! I loved it!!

What a great country and the people are the salt of the earth though all they went through its hard to put them down as they have proved , ☘☘☘

I heard her in daylight at Saint KILLIAN WELL... At a holy well... she was on the road outside the hedge . The gate to the Well was open which was unusual.

Gorgeous ever Eibhlin amazing stories ever adore so much amazing Bansi thank you all for sharing

Maeve met a woman, standing in the middle of the road, next to her chariot, spinning wool. Maeve asked the woman who she was. "I am Fedhelm, Banfille sidhe Cruachna" Maeve asked the woman what she saw. "I see red. Very red...", was Fedhelm's reply.

It means someone is going to die. The banshee is there to accompany them to the next world.

Never heard the banshee, I grew up in rural connacht.. The wailing of a vixen can be chilling on a dark night,.. Perhaps that's the bone chilling cry people hear..

So beautiful.

Wow! Thanks for sharing this. :) it was really good to watch.

There is a similar concept in the Spanish speaking world. La Llorona,about which there is a very haunting song. In some American Indian cultures, the owl is a messenger of death. Twice in my life, my house has been literally filled by the sound of hooting. Both times,someone I knew, close to me had died.

The banshee makes a knocking noise in Donegal and Tyrone

Thank you.

My Father used to Frighten us Children about Her and My Mother would say that any Combs on the Ground belonged to the Banshee !

Is there anywhere I could watch the full thing please? Thanks for uploading this, great documentary from what I've seen of it.

Could it be some wild animal making those sounds ? When I was in Israel , I heard strange wailing in the night , but it turned out to be jackals from the forest .

In Donegal and Tyrone the banshee is known to knock.

5:24 Mary was from Ireland. Not many know that.

I woke up one night as a child and a woman was combing her long dark hair sitting by my bed. Her face was hidden as she combed her hair. Next day I asked my mother who had long dark hair if she had sat by my bed in the middle of the night and combed her hair. She said of course not why would I do that. So then I knew it was the Banshee.

Por las noches ella viene con el viento....

Was that Hank Williams at the end there?

I do know that the Irish people must turn to God and love one another in the Love of Jesus Christ .

ive heard and seen a woman in white(different occasions), dunno if she was a banshee. But rather than cry/wail it was an echoed laughter... the three of us that were there, were all 21. when i saw the banshee(woman in white), she tapped me on my left shoulder and woke me up but all she did was smile. Still so terrified..... Any clues to what it means??? Please help

SESH

Music please anyone?

Sesh

My surname is McMahon and the hag came and woke me up and stood beside my bed. Honestly, was she the Banshee? My roots are from Limerick... My dad and my sister have had visits from her also, she binds you so you can't move.

The Irish lives on in Australian Grand children too :) A part of my heart lives over the sea in Northern Ireland and I wish I could follow it home.

I so reslly want to see one. I am so very intersted in seeing a banshee

How come when you hear this banshee somebody else dies and not you?

I always thought banshees where good! ;]] Never thought of them as bad.. Aren't they suppose to warn you of someone's death though?

I think it's actually bánn tí Lady of the house... Who can often be heard wailing when her husbands not home...

Is this SESH?

i wont to no the storys and i'm only 16 !

Oh, she has contact with the next world, she does.

How do you watch the full docu on vimeo. It's asking for a password.

Creepy but interesting

We have allowed the money conscious society to take over...time to take it back..ATWA

@5:16 elderly Mrs Doubhfire

My ancestors could predict death. I heard her mooing like a cow outside the window on a busy road. It was relentless. I think she predicted the COVID-19 epidemic or maybe a death. I pray to the death saint Santisima Muerte and i have witchy powers also. ☘️🍀😻💜☠️

what is "sesh"? sorry, ignorant of such

At 2:45 man says it sounded like a cat being strangled. It's funny he says it sounded just like a cat being strangled. But he decided it was a banshee a spirit. Why would it ever be something logical like a cat?

I would like to believe it because as people I think we have a longing to believe in something after this life but it just seems like old stories passed on. I hope im wrong!

Never thought of it that way are they there because they someone who is about to die

I've heard her twice and trust me i HOPE and PRAY i NEVER hear her again.

I've heard the Banshee cry many times. In fact I've heard more than one cry at once. Strangely there's always feral cats around at the same time.

Love how they used the statue..because that's exactly what the Catholic Mary is...semeramis and tamuz are falsely depicted as Jesus and Mary all over the world due to catechism (paganism camoflauged)

Load bollocks

electric light drove the banshee away

Ok. To recap. When people are going to die the Bean Si only shows up in Ireland. Got it.

Jesus alone gives Eternal Life.
